This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.
GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.
Priority findings
2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
SSL/TLS
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
High
Weak Protocols Supported
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions
This scan found 19 issues across 5 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

How this score is calculated
The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted
NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.
Findings that cap the score at 49
Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.
The certificate is not trusted by browsers
The website is not served over HTTPS
A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
The page loads a script from a compromised source
The domain registration has expired
SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain
Partial scans
When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company occupies a niche market in the arts and crafts e-commerce sector, focusing on string art kits for adults. Its business model is direct-to-consumer retail via an online storefront. The presence of customer reviews and social media links suggests active community engagement. The domain age and registration details align with the business timeline, supporting legitimacy. The company leverages Shopify's ecosystem for hosting, payments, and marketing, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation. The target audience is adults interested in mindful crafting and home decor. The business appears to maintain consistent branding and content quality, supporting a stable market position.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS and uses clientTransferProhibited status to protect domain transfers. It employs hCaptcha for form security and integrates third-party review and marketing scripts responsibly. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. No explicit Content Security Policy or other common security headers were detected, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good for a small e-commerce site but could be strengthened with additional technical controls and regular security audits.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
Add security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to improve browser security.
Regularly review and update third-party scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Notes
The website is built on Shopify, utilizing Liquid templates and standard Shopify apps and integrations. It uses modern web technologies including asynchronous JavaScript loading, deferred scripts, and responsive CSS. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO integration and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site uses multiple external domains for fonts, analytics, marketing, and reviews, all reputable and standard for e-commerce. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies.

Standards and sources
Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
